Sooo how much different are we talking?
Like temp, length of incubation, positioning, turning or all of the above?

lockdown is three days before due date

Anyone have any bright ideas for me? I've been having crap hatches. I finally broke lockdown to candle eggs. There are several dead already (and I just candled a day or two ago). They all had tiny aircells. The larger aircells are the ones still alive, the two largest are the two that are currently internally pipped. Now, my humidity is from 16%-20% because I've been having these horrid hatches. Well, NOW it's 65%, but for incubation, it's 16-20%. So, I know that you can sand some to help evaporate them, but if it's late in incubation, can you maybe put a fake pip in like a week before lock down to try to get the excess fluid out? Any other ideas? Because they just aren't losing enough fluid, even with dry incubation, and I'm sick and tired of losing 99-100% of my hatch!
